The Eagles Current Roster: Wide Receivers

This is perhaps the best group of wide-outs the Eagles have had since the early 90's. While the receiving corps has become a strength on the team, it does have one glaring weakness: Depth..

A lot of fans are happy that the Birds finally have a potent (and young) starting duo of wide receivers. They also have a very reliable slot receiver who’s known for being the third down go to guy.

Once you go below No. 3 on the depth chart, the Eagles’ wide receiver roster becomes a huge question mark. Any team with a pass-oriented offense like Philly’s should have 4-5 reliable options at wide receiver.

It’s not a top priority but Andy Reid and Co. still need to look into their options

1. DeSean Jackson

In his second season, Jackson has proven that despite his size he's a big time player and was rewarded with a trip to his first Pro Bowl. His ability to stretch the field makes things wide open underneath for his teammates.

The two biggest questions regarding the No. 1 receiver are: 1.) Can he stay quiet about his contract at least one more year? 2.) Will he eventually be relieved from punt return duties to help keep him healthy?

3. Jason Avant

Jason Avant has grown into a highly valuable slot receiver that makes the other offensive weapon's jobs much easier. He'll be a restricted free agent this off season, and it's imperative that the Eagles do what they must to bring him back.
